Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Feel free to swap out the chicken with turkey if you have some leftover from the holidays, or mix in some spinach for an extra nutrient boost. Remember, cooking isn’t about sticking rigidly to a recipe; it’s about making something that suits you and your family’s taste buds.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, and stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, and thyme. Mix until the cheeses melt and everything is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Watching the cheese bubble in the oven, I’m often reminded of those evenings spent with my dad, hearing stories while we stirred pots together. This casserole is just like that—a little bit of storytelling in every bite.
